Thanks she!

President could actually cost lives. It's a less obvious way of domestic terrorism.

Here's Mayra Alvarez talking about the new Health Care Law for all Americans including Latinos..



I can only get the link, she.. but the good news is that this is out there on the intertubes!

You are right the news is out there...as is being demonstrated at the GOP town hall meetings. They are getting push back and it's wonderful to see.

It is beginning to look like the ACA ''Death Spiral'' predicted by the GOP/TP, is turning out to be an electoral ''Death Spiral'' for the GOP/TP.

showing these facts to my big sister, but she wouldn't even bother to read it. Like me, she also voted for Obama twice, but she is so convinced that people will have to pay more here in CA for health care than before; she won't believe me when I tell her that we are better off under this system than before.
She is one of those people who are unhappy and impatient about not having single-payer yet. I pretty much gave up on trying to convince her, and I'll just let her (and my Mom) see for themselves how good the ACA will be.

I assume that is some sort of inoculation?

The disinformation is really going on out there. It is amazing how much self harm people will do themselves over something they want to believe.
